Hello world!

It's been quite awhile since my last post. I've been working alot in making this game as good as possible.
I've decided not to update this thread mainly because i've just been drawing....


To sum up :

- Lots of new features added in the editor;
- Still drawing the assets for the game;
- Tweaked the camara;
- Cleaned the code;
- Added some scripting lines to load everything without changing the code;
- Tested the game a bit;

And more stuff i can't remember because it's been 2 months i think.

Anyway, heres a test i made today (ground is a placeholder for the moment) :

Thanks to Paul from UTG with some suggestions like the additive layer


Till next update

That test shot is looking nice, think it's looking more polished then earlier shots.

Here's another in-game picture.
This time showing the new ground for this stage and updates on every asset.


Updates:
 - New ground asset.
 - Sand/dirt details on every asset so they don't look out of place and more integrated with the ground
(thanks Paul from UTG, once again)


Thanks and till next update

Hello Hello,

Here to deliver another update.

This week i've been working on the camera system. Now the map stays "inside" the camera even if you zoom out/in, this way, you can't see the outside of it. And started working on a multiplier.

Sum up:
 - New Camera class;
 - Full control of the camera such as zoom, lock, width/height, focus change speed, etc.
 - Multiplier system;
 - Matrix-esq bullet trail.
 - Wave movement for the bullets (sin wave).


Till next update

After some crazy weeks of hard work, i'm almost done with the first playable demo.
It was never tested and i need to get some feedback asap.

Hey hey,

I'm proud to say that the first playable demo was a success. Even though it was private and the amount of people that got to play it was short, i received great feedback from it.
Not only was good for bug tracking but to see if the gameplay was fun or not as it is.

After this playtest, i was able to see what could be improved and that's what i'm going to do for this week.
Making more assets for the village stage and tweaking some other stuff before i go on with other stuff.

Hey guys,

Long long time since the last post 

My excuse....summer. I get easily distracted and my will to update everything right now is very low. Anyway,
I haven't been slacking :

- More assets were done;
- Improved AI;
- New transition system. If you played SMB or World of GOO, there's those cool transitions that makes going through the menus more fun and i've done something similar from scratch.
- Traps. I realized that the only way you can die right now is by being hit with enemy bullets, really lame imo. So, i started making traps, not only to have more ways to kill the main character but to give some life to every level.
- Failed at making a shader to reproduce wind.


Till next update, hopefully in the next week

That fire looks pretty good. I'd like to see it animated. Traps sound like a good idea to help vary the gameplay.

Thanks mate. The effects (fire and smoke) wasn't done by me but by Pow Studios.

Log for today :

- Animated the 3 traps i've shown on saturday screenshot.
- Added collisions for the effects.
- Changed the bullet system so it could work with animated bullets (like the fire).
- Improved the animation system to work with 1 .txt file for every animation instead of 1 .txt file for each animation.
- Tweaked more stuff.
